University of Toledo RSS Feeds

What is RSS?

RSS, or really simple syndication, is a versatile and easy-to-use technology that
lets you view information from a variety of sources quickly and
conveniently. Once you've subscribed to a feed (such as the University Calendar or
the UT Daily announcements), you'll see a summarized list of
headlines for events and announcements with links to additional information from the
feed's source. RSS is unique because each time that source
is updated (for example, a new event gets posted to the calendar), the RSS display
will update as well and alert you that new information is
available. Visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS for a
complete, technical explanation of RSS feeds.

How do I access an RSS feed?

Not all versions of Web browsers can view RSS feeds. If you click one of the feeds
below and get a Web page full of internet code, you may wish to
download a new Web browser capable of displaying RSS feeds.

Firefox 2 is a Web browser
that makes reading RSS feeds quick and easy. Since version 1.5, Firefox has been capable
of displaying RSS feeds. Version 2 does it even better,
so if you find you cannot access feeds in your current browser, perhaps give this
one a try. Once you've installed Firefox, simply bookmark the
links below that you're interested in and your browser will alert you whenever there
are new calendar events or UT Daily messages.

Microsoft's
newer Internet Explorer 7can display feeds, but UT's Information Technology Department is not currently recommending
it until the department ensures that the new
IE7 browser won't conflict with other University computer programs.
